It has now emerged that the fallen football fan Isaac Juma had reported that his life was in danger but the authorities gave him a wide berth.
While speaking at his rural home, a man who identified himself as his friend disclosed that Isaac Juma had on several occasions confessed that the land issue at his rural home was becoming problematic to him.
As a result, he reported the issue to the local police station that his life was being threatened but nothing was done.
His wife also revealed that the late Isaac Juma vowed never to let his father’s land go and promised to fight for it even if it meant him dying in the process.
In what seemed like a movie, the wife narrated that the killers finished her husband in less than three minutes. They were cutting his neck as if though they were slaughtering an animal. The killers then vanished after finishing their job.
In the meantime, the Veteran Nakuru football fan Isaac Juma was on Wednesday slashed to death by unknown goons at his home at around 11PM.
Isaac Juma was Kenya’s number one football fan who never shied away from doing the extreme just to demonstrate how he was in love with football.
In many occasions, Isaac Juma Onyango (Ngaywa) would travel across the country just to cheer the Harambee Stars in other countries.
Apart from football, Isaac Juma also attended state functions (ramogi night) and a number of political rallies in the country. He was number one fan of Ingwe FC.
On their side, kenyans had the following to say after the mysterious death of Isaac Juma:
“God don’t allow the killers to rest Hadi wajulikane n justice to prevail. Very sad…my heart felt condolences to the family”

“This guy was and will still be more popular in Western region than Mudavadi Wetangula and Malala combined may His soul RIP. It is so unfortunate He didn’t live to see Baba taking the oath as the 5th prezzo.”
“Land land land issues! His nephew has been claiming right to Juma’s land on behalf of her mother who is juma’s step sister! Juma gave him 6 acres, he sold, ate the money and demanded for more. Juma said No, the nephew promised to kill him so that he can take over the land. Last night two people attacked juma fortunately his younger son saw the attackers and identified one of them as the nephew! He has been arrested, he is in custody helping the police with investigations.”
“I am saddened by the death of our AFC and Harambee Stars ardent fan, Isaac Juma. The late was an ever-present face on the terraces working up fans and his energy was a motivation to the boys in the pitch. May his family, friends and relatives find peace, as his soul Rests In Peace.”
“I know this guy. He was a newspaper vendor na kushona viatu. He was a football diehard. RIP brother.”
“He deserves a state burial…He was a true statesman…A true patriot.. Your energetic and signature moves deceived. An old man in a young man’s body. Rousing standing ovations he received. To whom I so rightly scribble down this rhapsody. To whom his gyrates and chants we all heed. No words can suffice neither can this ode. From you we can be half assured of a rising breed. That will dare to be different and not afraid of looking odd. Far and wide..Old and young you spread the Seed. Of unparalleled patriotism and unwavering devotion,So we nod. A nod of approval..A nod of appreciation..and as you read.. Our farewell we bid..staying true to his creed”
“Why would someone do such to a very harmless person he only concentrated his energies in cheering the national teams,the perpetrators will know no peace rest easy number one fan.”
